Here are some basic background about Portuguese egg tarts. It is evolved from "pastel de nata", a traditional Portuguese custard pastry that consists of custard in a crème brûlée-like consistency caramelized in a puff pastry case. It was created more than 200 years ago by Catholic Sisters at Jerónimos Monastery (Portuguese: Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) at Belém in Lisbon.

When we talk about tart/pastries, we always refer to European styles'. In fact, in ASEAN countries, Macau is famous with its Portuguese Egg Tart. That's why today I choose to make this to participate Janine's hosted event. Seriously, I prefer to eat Portuguese egg tart rather than normal egg tart due to its layered crust. As such, I customized it to have more crust rather than custard filling, which is rather fattening and contains high cholesterol. Remember, eat healthy!
